ally, Gu Yuyao and He Zhigan had a good relationship, but after that incident, the two often quarreled. Gu Yuyao also frequently compared He Zhigan to Chen Ping. However, over time, Gu Yuyao's feeling..."Just leave Lady Ling alone!"

Su Wen Zong smiled slightly, then sat down on the sofa beside Chen Ping.

Chen Ping looked around the room. The furniture was rather old and inexpensive, not at all what one would expect from the home of a city's top leader. And Wang Hui, as the mayor's wife, was so kind and approachable. Chen Ping couldn't understand it. How could a mother like Wang Hui raise someone like Ling Feng

Su Wenzong and Chen Ping had not sat for long when the door to the study was opened, and four people filed out!

One of them, a man in his forties with glasses, was well-dressed and elegant. This was Ling Zhenchuan. Although he dressed plainly, there was an aura of authority about him!

And the other three people should be Hong Kong businessmen, one of whom was thin and had a goatee, with piercing eyes. Chen Ping even sensed a trace of spiritual fluctuation from this Hong Kong businessman!

"Could this guy be a cultivator too"

Chen Ping couldn't help but take a few more glances!

"Mayor Ling, I hope you'll give this some serious thought. Our investment will undoubtedly boost the economic development of Hongcheng. As long as you allocate the Southern part of the city to us, we can rebuild an entire new district within three years!"

Then the Hong Kong businessman with a goatee said.

"I'm sorry, I can't do something just for money that would make my descendants ashamed of me. I won't harm the interests of every citizen either. To achieve real results, it takes more than just money; it requires the support of the people. Forget about it. Farewell!"

Ling Zhenchuan frowned and said in a cold voice!

It looks like Ling Zhenchuan wasn't having a very pleasant conversation with those Hong Kong businessmen.

"Since Mayor Ling is so insistent, there's nothing more to be said. Farewell!"

That goateed Hong Kong businessman extended his hand towards Ling Zhenchuan.

Although the conversation was unpleasant, at least there was still some basic courtesy. Ling Zhenchuan shook hands with the Hong Kong businessman!

Just as the two palms met, a wisp of faint black mist directly entered Ling Zhenchuan's body through his hand. However, Ling Zhenchuan remained oblivious!

However, this scene was witnessed by Chen Ping. Chen Ping frowned and stared intently at the man with the goat's beard from the port!

Then the Hong Kong businessman also seemed to feel something, turning his head to glance at Chen Ping, but only for a moment before turning back.

After the three Hong Kong businessmen left, Ling Zhenchuan finally sat down on the sofa with a huff and puffed, sipping the tea Wang Hui had just brought him. His face was grim!

"Lao Ling, Lao Su are waiting for you!"

Wang Hui reminded Ling Zhenchuan!

Ling Zhenchuan only then remembered, and hurriedly greeted Su Wenzong: "Old Su, come over here and sit. I was almost driven mad just now, I completely forgot about you!"

Ling Zhenshan got up and followed Su Wenzong with a face full of apology.

"Mayor Ling, you're too kind. You work tirelessly for Hong City day and night. I apologize for this intrusion."

Su Wenzong walked past, and Chen Ping followed behind!

"Lao Su, without your contributions, Hongcheng wouldn't be what it is today. Even if I had three heads and six arms, I wouldn't have been able to achieve this! Ling Zhenchuan chuckled: "Xiao Feng told me about the land in Xishi District owned by your family. I've already instructed people to start the approval process. As long as it's legal and compliant, you can come to me directly. There's no need to involve Xiao Feng!"

“Besides, Old Liu called me and said you're coming to apologize. What's going on”

Su Wenzong hurriedly explained: "Mayor Ling, yesterday at my house, Xiaofeng and Chen Ping had a small misunderstanding, and as a result, the two of them got into a conflict. Chen Ping was impulsive and hit Xiaofeng, so I brought him here today to apologize to Mayor Ling!"

Ling Zhenchuan glanced at Chen Ping and smiled faintly: "Young man, it's normal to have a bit of temper. It's fine if you fight. You don't need to involve ancient matters. I thought you had done something illegal. If that were the case, no one's phone call would work!"
